Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: The reason I zone in on it in this short time is that week after week reports force changes in institutions. I wonder why the change does not come before. We are then left asking whether the change has occurred after the synthesis report, after the questions that were raised or after the fraud in Uganda. That is why I am asking in that context and Mr. de Búrca is telling me the...

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: That is why I am asking the question and it is what we see here all the time. More and more public bodies have rented buildings. The Department is looking at it now, but did it look at it before in the context of value for money?

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: The Chairman is looking at me but I will stop. I will come back continually to the ongoing renting of premises with no value for money being obtained. It is every public body in Ireland and abroad and it is contributing to rents going off the Richter scale, not to mention the cost. It should be looked at.

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: I welcome that and I realise it is complex but we should not go down the road of renting without thinking. Only recently we had the president of a university before the committee. He was in accommodation for €3,000 per month on taxpayers' money. That is simply an example.
